The Tumor Board

I've had follow up appointments with both the surgeon and the Endocrinologist. My incision is healing well and they decided to present my case to the tumor board to figure out whether or not I should do the Radioactive Iodine treatment. The surgeon thinks I might be a good candidate for it but the Endocrinologist thinks that it may not be necessary at this time so they want to get together with a cross functional team of doctors (Endocrinologist, Surgeon, Pathology, etc) to review my case. I like that they are doing this and I will follow whatever recommendation they come back with. Outside of that, things are going well. The higher dose of thyroid medicine seems to be about right because I feel fine. I went for a run today for the first time in quite some time. It was hard and I can feel my extra weight pounding on my bones but in time, I hope that extra weight finally goes away and the running gets easier because it was not easy. My basic run has been 6 miles for so long that it was interesting and humbling to have a hard time making it around the track one time (about 1/4 of a mile). I walked and ran and walked and ran then did a few shorter sprints. I took it easy and didn't do too much. I really hope that my body starts reacting to exercise and diet as it should. It hasn't been functioning normally for a few years so now I really expect things to improve with hard work which I am committed to doing. We shall see.
